Please recheck your model number, there should be only 8 digits following the 110.

How did you check the door switch?

Do you have a test meter and do you know how to use it?

Thanks

Take the back off, and there will be a thermal fuse. It is white in color, and is about an inch and a half long, by a half inch wide, with 2 wires coming to it. Unplug the dryer, take the 2 wires off of the thermal fuse, and put the terminal ends together, and put some tape around it, so it does not hit metal, and plug the dryer in and see if it works. If so, DO NOT RUN the dryer, with the thermal fuse jumped out. It is the only thing stopping the dryer from burning down the house. Also, check the breaker, at the fuse box.
